DeSantis Ramps Up His Beef With Harris After Ducking Her Hurricane Calls
Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis had harsh words for Vice President Kamala Harris on Monday night, picking a fight with the Democratic nominee after he reportedly failed to answer her calls about preparations for Hurricane Milton.
Earlier in the day Harris called the Florida governor’s actions “selfish” and “utterly irresponsible”—a characterization that DeSantis apparently resented.
“For Kamala Harris to try to say that my sole focus on the people of Florida is somehow selfish is delusional,” DeSantis said during an interview on Fox News’ Hannity. “She has no role in this. In fact, she’s been vice president now for three and a half years—I’ve dealt with a number of storms under this administration. She has never contributed anything to any of these efforts. What I think is selfish is her trying to blunder into this.”
